Extended warenties are great however For the warenties to be valid one needs to have the vehicle serviced at toyota, at toyota price Oil filter at toyota for Aygo, post it here a while ago, think R140 oil filter at jeep dealer for the jeep R95 so toyota scores by extending the warenty and having one...

I don't know if it is just me I think people who hold large dogs like a German Shepherd on a small space (like 400sqm stand of which home takes up 90% of space plus a pool) are mean and selfish? Or is there any logical reason why people will do something like that? Or is it not as bad as I think it...

Well it's done

Aygo is gone

it's been replaced by a white kia picanto 1.2 ex

will be posting some comments and reviews as time goes on
Including fuel consumption

kfxnando

Well all the paperwork is done, license department, police clearance and new disk with new details Aygo motor sounds good this time, however these days of forced running around and dealing with issues that toyota should of dealt with, has left me highly peed off further pushing to that kia picanto, ...

Well, things have developed Got my Aygo back, however not without a bad taste last week Thursday got hit by hail, and toyota excess is 20k, in some cases 10k on their loan cars feel that if my car was right from the factory, I wouldn't of been friving their loan car so have pushed for toyota to pay ...

Peter the motor and gearbox js Toyota one of the reasons why I felt comfortable in getting one to every one on here not knocking the brand, however it is what it is from where I sit and I enjoy it here, and plan on being here for a long time still :surrender: However toyota is no longer what it used...

Filled up the Etios

traveled 537.5km
used 36.12L
aircon on 98% of the time

14.88km/L
am disapointed, as this puts the final nail on the etios
miss my aygo . . . . .

kfxnando

Só here is a little update Aygo is still in, and haven't heard anything this week been driving the etios, and nope it did not grow on me etios has nice power, however find the interior noise then the Aygo will most probably fill up today again, have done around 550km and see that I have two little s...

Outch know that with my own running around have not come on here every day, so have only now seen this thread Yep it's bad, however on the other hand can think of a few ways how it could of ended up far worst the most important thing is that the biggest injury was to the ego, as every one walked awa...

kfxnando

There was more then one comment about why they were sitting there however let's paint a little different pic when my son was still school, if I had a gap to pick him up, I would often say, will pick you up at a certain spot to avoid the traffic outside the school so if my son sat down while waiting ...

Hi guys typical me to take a different view on certain things the incident did not happen on the highway, so those guys on the pavement have every right to be there!!

Eish
this is a difficult one

yep there are those that can make the devils juice work

However a V8 is a V8
and very difficult to beat in all spheres

Só you guys are telling me that chick's like all those little knobs??

kfxnando

DO NOT PORT DO NOT PORT to get the ports right takes some working out and it's not just a mater of 50mm or 75mm a sealed box is a much safer bet for speakers if in some cases the cone and voice coils have been torn apart then will say poor speaker quality been there done that and around the block on...

Self prefer youtube
as one can even make some money out of ones videos on YouTube
Just received my 1st check from them

kfxnando

Yep am sharing the tests, as the fuel consumption will help me decide what direction we go in speed, yep around 110 up and down the dealer said they are going to get me a rented car, and I will need to bring back the etios told them no way, have already filled the etios and will be testing it!! Lol ...

kfxnando

Só like I said earlier
etios filled up
and due to savages trying to rob wife today, have done some extra driving
125.5km and yes, this afternoon it was hot, and now a bit cooler
drove nicely, a little traffic, nothing bad

used 7.82l
meaning 16.05 km/L
6.23l/100

edit
aircon on all the way

kfxnando

If the etios gives me 17-18km/L, then it's only the obstacle of restarting the payments from the beginning as believe that I can live with the 17-18km/L for the extra pennies, saw on the way home, that it took no effort on hills At the risk of loosing money And believing that the Aygo is going to st...

Só the little Aygo motor is stripped and it does look like piston slap however, the little Aygo has spoiled me with the fuel consumption as I get just over or just under 20km/l that makes every thing else look heavy on fuel been looking at the kia Picanto, that looks very nice and attractive, full o...

kfxnando

Sadly looks like the etios no longer exists

as we don't get any more updates

like on fuel consumption

after a few issues with the Aygo,been looking at an etios, however looks like they only last a few months

kfxnando

Every vehicle has their weak points
and like I said, would buy one without hesitation

kfxnando

Yep, what will they look like

and size does matter, as I am thinking of the Aygo bonnet, as that is the car I drive the most

kfxnando

Right some feedback wend morning Toyota technical service adviser showed up, car had been standing there since the night before, so all was cold he took a pic of the oddo workshop manager, and main mechanic were also present, started the car with the bonnet open, just gave the throttle a little toug...
